Pantry party

Today, I am happy.

And, I'm totally stoked with breakfast cereal...seriously. I make my living preparing food for people..however, I rarely ever cook at home...nonetheless, I like cereal...a lot. It's no muss no fuss. Thusly, I'm completely awed with this new grape nuts product.....grape nuts trail mix crunch... I read another online review wherein, GNTMC was declared "too sweet". I disagree, I think it's just right...I like it with milk, and I like it mixed into my yogurt.

Also, it ain't cereal, but here's my ideal way to make plain rice...(the herbs are dry)
1 c dry jasmine rice
1 tsp parsley
1 1/2 tsp basil
pinch of crushed red pepper
1/2 tbsp adobo seasoning (with pepper) and oh my god...it smells so fucking good while cooking.

Alternatively, you could increase the seasoning a bit (this is definitely one of those "to taste" things), add some coconut milk (if you add coconut milk, decrease your cooking water, and after half the water is absorbed, add the c-milk), steam up some green beans (or veggie of your choice) and then have some sort of protein on the side. Sometimes I'll hook up some tofu, sometimes chicken..it varies on my mood (and how many dishes I feel like washing..;) )
